I hope you can forgive me if I ask a really stupid question I am kind of a newbie here...
(yes, my own website is kind of a mess, but I am doing the best I can)
my problem is as follows:
I made a site that looks rather nice in firefox, but is a total mess in IE (what else is new...)
you can find it here: http://www.diona.nl/css/layout.html
and the stylesheet is here: http://www.diona.nl/css/style.css
(I know the scroll-bar colours only work in IE, that is acceptable...)
I have by now found out that IE does not accept bottom:20 as the bottom of the window, but as the bottom of the text. I know this can be solved by giving the height for the div-thingy, but I do not know the height! I want the height to depent on the size of the window, the top-bar and the left bar must have fixed widths (in px) because of the images, so I really do not want them in % (unless there is absolutely positively no other way).
Does anybody know how I can preserve the way it looks in firefox to IE? (I have no experience with other browsers yet, sorry)

<div> positioning problem IE
see here I have exploited IE only expressions to calculate the height of the div and overcome IEs inability to work with both opposite coordinates at the same time.
I changed your body background-color and added a inner_wrap div enabling removal of both rand divs.
there are probably other better more standards compliant ways, this way just seemed easiest given the starting point.
